Topic #1: September 22, 12:15pm Eastern Time
Location, Location, Location: The Power of Contextual Interpretation

Many commentaries have been used to understand each of the 150 songs of Tehillim; few relate to the meaning of their order and placement in the book. Contextual interpretation is an amazing tool that helps deepen our understanding of Tehillim based on this systematic method of analysis. The building blocks for the series are introduced in this lecture.  

Rabbi Dr. Gesundheit completed a residency in pediatrics at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, a fellowship in pediatric hematology-oncology at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada and received his Ph.D. in bioethics from the University of Toronto. For the past eight years Rabbi Gesundheit has been working on a new Hebrew commentary on the Book Tehilim according to the contextual interpretation. The Hebrew & English website www.tehillim.org.il presents this approach with lectures, articles and source sheets.
